E' un posto gradevole, confortevole immerso in un'oasi di pace dove la natura diventa cornice di tranquillitŕ e relax. Peccato che non sia stato possibile utilizzare il servizio ristorazione e la piscina perchč al momento inattivi. In definitiva il commento č molto positivo. E' molto probabile che in futuro saremo nuovamente ospiti della struttura. Grazie.

We had a fantastic stay at the hotel. We were looking for something basic and clean as we were visiting family out there, and we got what we were looking for. We were made to feel very welcome and they couldn't have been more helpful with places to go and see. The room was spotless and clean and waking up to the Italian hills was exactly what the Doctor ordered!!!
| Jan C. (Belgium)
If you like a quite trip, in a beautiful country, Colleverde is the place to be.
| Bob C. (Usa)
This hotel and service reepresented a great way really meet people and get into the life of the country. it is a great idea that i will use again. It was a fun experience.
| Rupert P. (United Kingdom)
This hotel was just what we wanted, small, in beautiful countryside and the perfect antithesis to Naples. The family could not have been friendlier. They added us to their evening meal at the last minute, we bought their own farm produce which was not pushed on us at all and personal help and advice about the area made our stay even better than we hoped. The rooms are very clean, if a bit basic, the views from the windows calming and soothing. Basic self catering is a possibility... but why would you want to? A special effort was made for my husband who is a vegitarian despite the disbelief that anyone would not want to eat their meat! PS go to the Reggia... it blue my mind, not at all like Rough Guide described.

Consistently excellent food and a great value. Everything is fresh and pretty healthy. The servers are friendly and can accommodate special requests. Daily specials recommended.
Healthy lunches that are both filling and tasty keep them lining up at this modern cafeteria.
great, fresh, local food – Updates menu on Twitter all the time with fabulous fresh, local ingredients. As an exmple- butternut squash soup/ braised lamb cheeks, yukon mashed potatoes, tender greens, shaved fennel, radishes, balsamic vin/ apple tart.
I've come here for lunch a few times and been thoroughly impressed. The meat choices are excellent- nicely seasoned and cooked, while nothing tastes too heavy. They even have a couple of good beers on tap. Salads that were ordered by others in my party looked quite delicious as well.
Was just here recently when looking for food. Tender Greens is always a solid choice. All the food is fresh and delicious and you can find something for any palate.
Love This Place – Had lunch with a friend yesterday! The food was great and so was the service.
Incredible! – Dinner at Tender Greens will absolutely be on my 'must' list on my next trip to LA! My boyfriend and I found it on accident while walking to the Arclight Theatre, and it was a fabulous surprise! As a vegetarian, I was so pleased to see so many vegan and veggie options, and my boyfriend was happy to see steak, chicken, and scallops! It's a restaurant that caters to all kinds of appetites, and comes with a great price.
I ordered a cup of the potato and leek soup. Wonderful! Not too "leeky," with a great pureed' texture. Boyf ordered the pepper chicken with a side of the mixed veggies. Chicken was perfectly cooked, and the veggies appeared to be roasted with a bit of olive oil and seasonings. Incredible, (and don't forget about the in-house made vegan desserts!)
Tender Greens may sound totally "crunchy," but it's so much more than that. Love it!
large servings, medium price – This place is really a great find. My friend took me here the first visit, then I remembered seeing their logo at a party. I was happy to know that my stomach would be happy.
The salad was huge. A giant portion of Ahi. I thought for sure for the price the plate would be all greens and crouton sized ahi but I was so very wrong.
Citysearch Editorial Review – Located at the foot of the Sunset & Vine Tower, this third outpost of the Tender Greens empire keeps the green momentum going. With nothing over $11, the menu features favorites like the chipotle barbecue chicken salad and the grilled flatiron steak salad. Aside from all the crunchy lunch and dinner options, the "Hot Stuff" portion of the menu includes a choice of grilled protein, chicken, albacore or vegetables. There are also soups and daily specials.
Fresh yummy salads – We order this to the office often, i've never been but i think its a cute place to hang out and eat (my friends do). Salads are delicious i tried a few they are all good. But portions are small so need some bread on the side. they have this toasted french toast with olive oil but it does not do the trick... but my carb obsession aside this is a good joint

New $199 Nook Tablet to compete with Fire
Barnes & Noble has Amazon's Kindle Fire directly in its sights. Its latest ammunition: a $199 Nook Tablet with 8GB of memory.
The new version of the Nook Tablet--$50 cheaper and with half the memory of the original--now matches the Kindle Fire in price and memory specs. The book retailer hopes the lower price will make it more of a rival to Amazon's tablet, which has established itself as the No. 2 player behind Apple's iPad. Amazon has attracted customers through a lower-end price and a decent selection in its online store.

Costumes of Whitney Houston, Britney Spears & More Auctioned at Profiles in History, Now thru 7/31
The countdown to Profiles in History's July auction begins. Run by Joe Maddalena, Profiles in History has announced that costumes from Whitney Houston, Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez will be in attendance. Taking place in Los Angeles, The Dreier Collection will be auctioned off today, July 28th, the Animation Auction will be July 29th and the Treasures from the Hollywood Vaults auction has been moved to July 30th and July 31st.
From Whitney Houston, her screen-used "Rachel Marron" "Queen of the Night" costume from The Bodyguard, pictured left. Costume designer Susan Nininger penned the original design for this incredible "Queen of the Night" costume. Inspired by Maria, the Maschinenmensch (machine-human), in the 1927 Fritz Lang classic Metropolis, the Art Deco costume consists of a chromed thermal formed chest plate, a stylized corset with chrome and aluminum accents, a metallic gray undersuit with attached garter straps detailed with metal studs, silver lamé crepe skirt, pair of aluminum arm cuffs with chrome ball detailing, broad Egyptian-style collar festooned with chrome balls, a waist belt with attached strings of hanging chrome beads, a pair of gray over-the-knee high heel boots accented with metal diamond-shaped studs running down the sides of the legs and gray opera-length gloves with both metal and hematite beading. In the film there is a "Queen of the Night" music video playing on the back screen of the stage while Whitney is performing her number. Whitney also wore this costume when Kevin Costner's character holds her (sans chest armor) in his arms following the stage incident—the very image used for The Bodyguard movie poster. One cannot find a better costume worn by Whitney Houston—one of the greatest musical performers of all time—at the peak of her storied career. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Chris Gillman. It is pictured above and expected to fetch $20,000 – $30,000.
Whitney Houston custom Fabrice Simon sequined gown worn at the 1988 Grammy Awards. This gorgeous sequined gown was designed by Fabrice Simon expressly for Whitney Houston to wear at the 30th Grammy Awards held on March 2, 1988. The black gown features sequined spaghetti straps with a floral motif bust line with related floral patterns throughout. At this ceremony Whitney won Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female for "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)." Whitney donated this gown for an AIDS Charity in 1992 and it is accompanied by a large 8 in. x 12 in. signed color photograph of Whitney wearing the gown holding her Grammy Award. On the surrounding photographer's mat, Whitney has inscribed in silver ink, "Peace Help fight Aids Whitney" and has drawn a happy face to the right of her signature. Accompanied by the original "Sunday By the Bay" auction catalog (held July 12, 1992) featuring the Whitney evening gown as lot "L5A" as well as the original Federal Express airbill from "Nippy, Inc." (Houston's Production Company) sending the gown and signed photo to the charity. A fantastic gown, with exceptional provenance, worn early in Houston's career for her second Grammy win. It is expected to fetch $3,000 – $5,000. Both of these Whitney Houston costumes are a part of the Tresasures from the Hollywood Vaults.
Also from the Hollywood Vaults, Britney Spears stage-worn sequined catsuit from her "Oops!...I Did It Again" performance at the 2000 Grammy Awards. This ornate, custom-made sequined catsuit was worn by pop star Britney Spears at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2000 while performing her iconic hit "Oops!...I Did It Again." The red catsuit is literally covered with sequins and exhibits tailoredlateral "hourglass" cut-outs at the midriff to accentuate her physique. Britney wore this costume during the dress rehearsal as well as her main performance at the Grammy's on February 23, 2000. The iconic costume was personally donated by Britney Spears for The Britney Spears Foundation and is accompanied with a signed letter of authenticity by Spears. This is an incredible stage-worn costume worn during Britney's meteoric rise to fame. It is expected to fetch $8,000 – $12,000.

Running Time: 00:16:15
On February 19, 2008 the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Morgan Stanley Capital v. Public Utility District. The case poses the following questions: 1) Under what conditions, if any, should the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission have the power to invalidate facially valid wholesale energy contracts? 2) Did the unusual conditions of the energy market during the California energy crisis justify an exception to the FERC's general policy of respecting contracts set to the market rate? Kamlet Shepherd's Ray Gifford discusses the case.

Could be better – I had lunch outside on a fantastic summer day. The ambiance is wonderful & food is delicious (although a little pricey for lunch), but the service was slow & wait staff was uninterested. Has great potential.
Find intimacy with a modern flair at this stylish downtown restaurant. – The Scene
From the angular dishes and chairs to the tubular lights and contemporary art fixtures, Bella provides romantic inspiration within a contemporary setting. The prized downtown location (south of the Aronoff Center for the Arts) offers an open view to the bustling city while attracting a diverse, upscale clientele.
The Food
Bella's Mediterranean-infused, contemporary cuisine is familiar, yet full of flavorful surprises. The sauteed Asiago-encrusted halibut with vegetables is zesty with black-pepper risotto and tomato-caper butter. Grilled peppered filet of beef comes richly drenched in a red-wine shiitake mushroom sauce and surrounded by a garlicky mound of Yukon gold potatoes. Gourmet pizzas and pastas, such as the Southwestern blackened chicken pizza, offer all the flavor of dinner-menu entrees at lunch-menu prices. Salads, in half or whole portions, include a perfect, not too salty or fishy Caesar. Be sure to finish with a slice of the three-layer chocolate mousse.
Fabulous! – Bella is a beautiful restaurant with great service and delicious food. The value is good, too, especially compared to other downtown restuarants. Located right next to the Aronoff, it's a great spot pre- or post-theater.
Best in Cincinnati – Bella is outstanding! It is the best that Cincinnati has to offer.

Its funny that nobody has commented yet, those of you who were pro gun control. I posted a similar one to this in the gun thread prior to you posting this and the thread went quite.
So we believe that Manti was a hoax, but this one is too hard to believe?

Oh good lord, our country would rather believe in something like this than the cold hard truth that we have sick ass people living in this country that do sick ass things... these people are as bad as the 9/11 truthers and the birthers...
First off, the "crisis actors" have been proven false and the people that came up with that run a website that claims that Hitler was an "actor" created by the government, so was Walt Disney. Say that out loud and let it sink in.
That gun they claim was the Bushmaster out of the trunk was a shotgun, only if you're blind would you mistake it for an assault rifle. There wasn't "4 handguns" recovered in the school, there were 3. 2 were handguns, one was a Bushmaster. There was a ton of misinformation at the beginning like there always is when panic happens, kind of like the media incorrectly saying Adam Lanza's brother was the shooter at first. The 4 gun thing was one of the things they later corrected. And the guy in the woods was an off duty police officer, again whoever did the video didn't bother to do much research. Just took some videos from Alex Jones' crazy ass InfoWars, they did the same thing for the Colorado shooting and guess what? They next time we have a mass shooting (and there will be one, there always is in this country unfortuantley) they'll do the same. The only reason there wasn't one for Virginia Tech or Columbine is because social media/youtube either wasnt around (Columbine) or near as big at the time (VT).
Social Media was huge back in 2007, when the VaTech tragedy occurred, there are plenty of these types of "tin foil hat" videos from 9/11.
I'll just say this, was the media incorrect or did something else happen...who knows. I'm way more open to the possibility of something else happening, but I tend to not trust our government/people for obvious reasons...so I put nothing past them to push their agenda.
A quote from Mark Twain seems fitting, "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't."

Updating Links And A Funny Story
I have been feeling kind of lousy for the last week almost, not really sick and I don't really have a cold; but I do have an awful persistent cough. I did have a slight fever for a day or so; but that passed and now all I have is that awful cough and a definite, serious lack of sleep. I am almost wondering if I have a touch of Whooping Cough. I haven't even been able to sleep in my recliner which usually works when I have a cold. So I am pretty much a useless zombie at the moment.
Roy has been cooking for himself as I haven't really had an appetite and yesterday he needed a couple of eggs so he went across the street to the little tienda to get a couple.
He came home with the eggs, laughing hard, and had a funny story to tell me. When he got to the store he looked in the usual place for the eggs and couldn't see them so started to ask the storekeeper. He went totally blank for the Spanish word for "eggs". A bit of background here. Roy is very good at playing charades in the stores to find what he wants when he is on his own, we know the store lady fairly well and she has a great sense of humour, so he resorted to charades. I guess he clucked a few times like a chicken and then mimed cracking open an egg and putting it in a pan. The lady laughed and went into the back room and returned with 2 eggs for him. I guess they were both just splitting with laughter by the time he left the store.
This same store lady has a Siamese cat that her granddaughters named "Clifford" after Clifford the Big Red Dog books. She also provides lunch for the health workers that go through the neighbourhood on the Dengue checks, etc.. One day on her white board she had a menu written, there was a variety of dishes listed and I stopped to read it. I doubled up with laughter as the menu items were all something to do with the cat. There were tacos de Clifford, Clifford a la plancha and various other items. The health workers were all laughing and getting a kick out of it. It is very seldom that you go over there and don't leave laughing. A good neighbour whose husband unfortunately, suddenly passed away a couple of months ago from a heart attack. She now does all the store keeping on her own; but her sense of humour to the public has not changed at all.

Hope you feel better soon Brenda. That's a funny story, the clucking and all. tee hee. You know...why don't you get a couple of hens? They'll provide you with a couple eggs a day and they aren't really hard to take care of. We have or had two hens, now only one but the one hen is enough eggs for us. Anyway, tell your husband he is funny.:)) Get well soon.
- Brenda said...
Thanks Gloria. I will tell Roy what you said.
We live in a second story apartment so am afraid that we can't have any chickens. There is the odd one in the neighbourhood though they free range so not sure if anyone gets the eggs or not.
Have a great day.

Linda, it is pretty funny alright.
Take care of your health, thinking of you.
- Billie said...
Brenda, this year there has been a cough going around in San Miguel that people are calling the 90-day cough because they have such a hard time getting over it. They can't sleep at night and they don't feel like eating. I hope it hasn't spread to the West.
Take care of yourself.
- Brenda said...
Billie, thanks for the information.
It may have spread I don't know; but it is not fun.
The prescribed cough syrups didn't touch the cough so I resorted to an old remedy of honey and cinnamon ( 1tbs. of honey and 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon) and that has helped as much or more than the OTC syrups.
It is improving to the point of where I can again get some sleep which is nice; but I have zero energy still.
After cooking our mid day comida yesterday I laid in my recliner and slept for an hour totally tired out.
A lot of the symptoms at the beginning were very similar to Whooping Cough.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you and Ned are doing well.

costa rica: anti-free-trade movement building success
Costa Rica has been the only country in the region not to ratify this agreement with the US, Central America and the Dominican Republic, known as CAFTA-DR. The agreement had already been in force for signatories including Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
With Costa Ricans set to vote in an October 2007 referendum on whether to endorse CAFTA-DR, FoE Costa Rica made a dynamic and effective contribution to a major social movement that aimed to build opposition to the agreement.
Called the Patriotic Movement, the nationwide effort of trade unionists, universities and environmentalists rejects ratification of the free trade agreement with the US. Their efforts led to a massive demonstration in San Jose, Costa Rica's capital, at the end of September. Thought to be the largest in Costa Rica's history, it saw between 100,000 and 150,000 people participate in the "NO to the FTA with the US" campaign, ahead of the referendum vote.
Although FoE Costa Rica members were deeply saddened by the following referendum vote, which decided in favour of CAFTA-DR by a narrow margin, the group almost immediately began planning next steps in the new stage of their fight against the agreement.
"The dreams, the hope, and the push and work that this will require are still strong. Importantly we are inspired by the satisfaction of having contributed actively and strongly to the building of a social movement whose future will bring us much happiness," said Isaac Rojas of FoE Costa Rica.

Apigee, the API management company, has launched the next generation of its platform which features self-service access, free to anyone for up to 3.5 million API calls per month. The new platform hopes to encourage businesses to tap into the growing app economy by adding to the company's existing suite of services for building, managing driving business through mobile.
Every company, from digital startups to bricks-and-mortar companies, need to develop mobile apps and APIs to compete in the digital economy. Despite the increasing demand from consumers for more and more powerful mobile apps, the resources required to deliver them are largely beyond the scope of most companies.
Mobile devices may take an even more important role in the annual holiday shopping spree this year. In addition to finding deals-on-the-go, a new survey reveals some additional reasons that make shopping from a handheld device more appealing than from a computer — all of which involve keeping certain parties in the dark.
Apigee, the application programming interface (API) management company with clients including Netflix, Getty Images and Walgreens, today announced that it would be making use of its platform available for free to anyone requiring up to 3.5 million calls per month. It's also adding a number of new services, all of which will be included for free users, and most of which are aimed at making Apigee easier to manage so that customers can come on the platform and create customized API-based products for any of their partners (both internal and external).
On Thursday, the team at Apigee published new research showing that mobile phones are increasingly being used to buy almost everything – including no shortage of items considered to be "embarrassing. Apigee explored the opinions of more than 2,000 U.S. mobile device users in a "scientific survey" to discover why America is falling in love with mobile phone shopping.
Apigee Corp. , the company that "has an API for everything," is offering its application programming interface (API) management platform free of charge to anyone in hopes of adding fuel to the already hot mobile apps space. An API is an interface that allows different elements of software to more easily communicate with each other. Developers frequently use APIs in a mobile context to hook third-party applications into the wireless capabilities of an operating system or other application.
Apigee launches the next generation of its leading API platform making enterprise-grade API management available to all developers. Amazon Glacier's pricing model may have hidden costs. Plus: Data scientists may one day be replaced by tools, Skytap announces their latest Platform-as-a-Service and 5 new APIs.
Mobile application analytics developer InstaOps Inc. has been acquired by a California company that plans to expand in Texas. Austin-based InstaOps was bought by Apigee Corp., an application program interface company, officials announced Thursday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The InstaOps acquisition marks the opening of a new Apigee office in Austin. Apigee, which was founded in 2004, completed a $20 million round of funding in July. The company operates offices in Palo Alto, Calif., Bangalore and London.
Apigee Corp., a fast-growing Silicon Valley software company that makes tools for mobile device applications, has bought a small Austin company and plans to expand here. Apigee, which raised $20 million in venture capital last month, bought Austin's InstaOps Inc. for undisclosed terms. InstaOps develops analytics software that tracks mobile app performance. Cofounders of the Austin company, Alan Ho and Prabhat Jha, will join the Apigee team.
APIs are not only critical when it comes to extending the digital reach of an organization; they can also provide tangible brick and mortar benefits as well. Walgreens, for example, recently announced that it has developed an API and software development kit that allows developers of mobile applications to include the ability to print out photos within their applications at any one of 7,907 Walgreens locations.

When Brittney Griner, one of the defining players in women's basketball history, came out as gay in April, the sporting world seemed to yawn, offer a collective shrug and forget about it in one news cycle.
Nobody cares about women's sports … Sexuality should never matter in athletics … All women athletes are gay anyway … Women's athletics have so masterfully evolved that its acceptance of everyone regardless of sexual orientation is now a given.
Depending on your radio talk show or agenda-driven Internet site, the answer was ready-made. And in a bizarre way, the entrenched polar sides held hands and reveled in the chorus of "whatever."
Yet when Griner told ESPN The Magazine a month later that Baylor coach Kim Mulkey wanted her to keep her sexuality quiet because it would damage recruiting, many of the shrugs turned into a more fierce debate.
"The coaches thought that if it seemed like they condoned it, people wouldn't let their kids come play for Baylor," Griner said.
If what Griner said is accurate, suddenly, hiding one's sexuality became a tool for Mulkey to capture national titles. Suddenly, the topic jumped out of the closet to expose a Baptist institution as hypocritical.
In her casual candor, had Griner failed to realize she could have been wrecking Mulkey's career and program? Was this payback against Baylor? Or as she begins her WNBA career this weekend, was Griner simply inclined to let the chips fall where they may?
I don't know the answer, but I do know this. It would be convenient for me to stop, simplify and scream that what Mulkey did was only what most in sports do: sell a little piece of their soul to win. From PEDs to spitballs to spitting at NCAA rules, we all know that story.
Griner said she told Mulkey when being recruited in high school that she was gay, hoped that it wasn't a problem and Mulkey said it wasn't. Griner said her Baylor teammates — "everybody" — knew about it. The school's student handbook states: "Temptations to deviate from [the Christian] norm include both heterosexual sex outside of marriage and homosexual behavior. It is thus expected that Baylor students will not participate in advocacy groups which promote understandings of sexuality that are contrary to biblical teaching."
In 2011, I praised BYU for standing by its principles in dismissing leading rebounder Brandon Davies from its nationally ranked basketball team. He had admitted he had premarital sex, a violation of the honor code at a school operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Do I agree with the standard? No. That isn't the point. The point is BYU stood up for what it believed in, even if meant costing itself a run at a NCAA title. I find it difficult to believe that nobody in the Baylor hierarchy knew Griner is a lesbian. As long as she kept her mouth shut, it was OK. Clearly, the person who first said cleanliness is next to godliness had it wrong. Recruiting is next to godliness. So it's no surprise that three protective former Baylor players, not happy with Griner, insisted Mulkey never asked about sexuality and never pressured anyone to be perceived as something they are not.
The truth is there are so many pieces in the mosaic of the gay athletic rainbow, so many agendas at work, it is difficult to know where to start and stop. There are so many deep discussions to be had, like who is fortunate enough to follow in the footsteps of trailblazers vs. how much public leadership still must be demonstrated individually by gay athletes?
I am not equipped to lead such a discussion. Yet as a sports columnist and supporter of equal rights for gays, I feel compelled to periodically explore the treatment of gays in locker rooms and the recruiting of high schools athletes. For adult women, the first part sounds good.
"The players in the WNBA don't care what their teammate's sexual orientation is," Rebecca Lobo said. "Most of them are very open about who they are. They know there are no judgments being made.
"Because these women are at a different place in their lives and more mature, more comfortable with who they are, it's not really talked about, but it's not hidden in any way."
Sue Wicks came out as gay in 2002, Sheryl Swoopes in 2005. Seimone Augustus did last year. At least count, seven professional women's basketball players have.
"You have teammates that are gay, teammates who are straight, just like anyone in any field," said Sun guard and ESPN analyst Kara Lawson. "It's never been an issue. We all hang out. My husband, Damien, hangs out with all of us. It's not a big deal. It's not awkward at all.
"You hear all this stuff coming from the guy's game, like they don't want to shower with a teammate [who is gay]. I've never felt uncomfortable, thought things were weird or different to the point where I needed to get out and get home."
Asked why women's athletes seem to handle the issue better than men, Lobo joked, "Women handle everything with more aplomb." And then she said, "When you play a men's professional sport, you're assumed to be straight and when you play a women's professional sport, you're assumed to be gay by people on the outside. Maybe there isn't the same stigma that goes with it on the women's side."
I spent much of this week reading everything I could on the acceptance of gay women athletes. In a piece in The Atlantic, Jessica Luther cited Trudy Hamilton, of Gradient Lair, asserting that society accept lesbians more readily on a popular level because "lesbians exist to 'perform' for men, not as independent humans in their own relationships with their own meaningful lives." Wow. Some of this is out of my league.
Yet if everything is so good, why is there only one openly gay coach [Sherri Murrell of Portland State] in Division I women's basketball? This is the dark side of it. Like it or not, there are thousands of parents out there who fear their daughters will be "converted" to lesbianism. In an important piece for ESPN The Magazine in 2011, Kate Fagan and Luke Cyphers explored how coaches talked about "family values" in recruiting — pointing to Bill Fennelly of Iowa State in particular — and how it can become code for "straight" or "gay" programs.

Trailhead:Tachäl Dhäl (Sheep Mountain) Information CentreDistance:5 km one wayTime:3 - 6 hrs return tripElevation Gain:427 M (1400')Maximum Elevation:1281M (4200')1:50 000 Topographic Map: Congdon Creek 115 G/2
This popular trail climbs along side of Tachäl Dhäl (Sheep Mountain) and above Sheep Creek. It offers excellent views of the Ä'äy Chù (Slims River) Valley as it opens up into the sub alpine.
After checking in at the Tachäl Dhäl (Sheep Mountain) Information Centre, you can drive or hike down the valley for 2.6 km. Here you will find a locked gate and a small parking area. The Sheep Creek Trail begins at the first right about 5 minutes from the gate. From this point on, it is a steady uphill climb. The first viewpoint is about 2 km up the trail. This is a good destination and turn-around point for hikers who don't wish to go further. Once again the trail continues upward along this old mining road with several more good viewpoints. The trail branches at the 3.8 km point. The left fork leads down to Sheep Creek, while the right fork continues on. It is possible to see the toe of the Kaskawulsh Glacier as you gain elevation beyond this point. The trail ends on the edge of a gully overlooking Forty-eight Pup Creek.
This is an excellent trail for viewing Dall Sheep in the spring as the sheep are moving to lower elevations.
Bear sightings are common in this area. Review recommendations for travel in the You Are In Bear Country brochure. All bear sightings should be reported to the staff at one of the Visitor Centres.

Chillicothe, Mo. —
In the stillness of summer's heat, and with a thick blanket of humidity, a group of men took to a small farm field in northeast Livingston County to tackle a day's work.
It was harvest day at the Larry and Mary Grothe farm. The mercury had climbed to 95 and the only breeze to be felt was in the shade of a nearby tree.

Those are wonderful. They really remind me of Alexander Calder sculptures. How hard to you think that might be to replicate with fun foam sheets cut into organic shapes with slots for connecting?
I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.
I love the non-traditional Barbie Family by the way!
I am anxious to see what my littlest one will come up when she is older. Right now I am pretty happy with her at 14 months though. Those months already went by way too fast!

Nold's Auburn volleyball team swept Jacksonville State on Monday 25-19, 25-21, 25-9, giving Nold a win over the program he used to coach.
As for JSU, current coach Joseph Goodson said that playing "scrappy" has become the Gamecocks' trademark. The problem is getting over that hump and into the win column.
"For us it's about being patient," said Goodson. "We play a point and we play a point, we're doing good and then someone loses their patience."
That loss of patience was evident after halftime. The Gamecocks had played the Tigers tough until the third set. That is when Auburn managed a huge 8-0 run that put the set and match out of reach.
"I think our girls just got a little bit tight and started to press a little bit," said Goodson. "You go out there and try to make plays as opposed to just letting the game come to you then all of a sudden you're playing catch up."
It was Nold's first trip back to JSU since he took over at Auburn in 2011. While there was plenty of people present happy to see him again, Nold said he was happy to see the development of some of those players that he recruited to JSU.
"I was proud of what I saw from them," said Nold. "They were out there digging balls and being scrappy. That's what I expect from them. They're good kids, and I think they'll do well this year."
One of those players is senior Kelly Cole who led the Gamecocks with 12 digs. Cole said that playing against Nold was "a lot of fun" but it motivated her play harder.
"I kind of wanted to prove to him that hey, you shouldn't have left," she said.
Emily Rutherford with 11 kills and Abbey Heredia with 15 assists led the Gamecocks (2-6). Auburn improved to 7-1.

While the talent remains, they have another type of void to fill – leadership.
Though the word is difficult to define, this class of NU seniors embraced the concept. Last season, they left Houston an unsatisfied group, and committed to building their teammates up. Coach Pat Fitzgerald said it took a yearlong process to reach this height.
"The guys took it upon themselves from the minute we landed in Chicago until today when it said 'zero, zero, zero' on the clock to be champions," Fitzgerald said. "We might not be putting the Big Ten Championship trophy in our case, but we took a big step forward in accomplishing that mission today."
All season long, Fitzgerald talked about the "chemistry" of his team, and referred to it as the greatest accomplishment of his departing senior class. Not only that, in their swan song, many delivered their finest performances.
Jared Carpenter earned ESPN Player of the Game honors with 10 tackles and a near interception. He strengthened an improved secondary that gave Tyler Russell fits. The four interceptions he threw marked the highest total from an MSU quarterback since 2007. Russell had only thrown six the entire season.
Quentin Williams was another beneficiary of Russell's poor decision-making. The fifth-year defensive lineman returned an interception for a touchdown on the third play of the game, and added one of NU's three sacks. Earlier today, Fitzgerald showed plays from each senior during their high school careers. He went alphabetically, finishing with Williams.
"And Q. Williams' play, he hits the quarterback, knocks him down," Fitzgerald described. "The quarterback (gave up the ball) at the last second, then Quentin chases the guy for like a minus-one yard play.
"That's the way he's been his entire career."
NU showed its character and leadership from week one. Against Syracuse, they blew a 22-point lead but still rallied for a season-opening win. Despite three difficult loses, the Cats kept coming back stronger.
Fitzgerald noted in his Monday press conference that NU's three best games had come after losses. Maybe that changed today. His seniors completed the climb, and best of all, accepted the importance of their roles.
After the NU defense allowed one of many big plays early in the game, senior linebacker David Nwabuisi gave an important message.
"He said, 'I adjusted that play wrong. It's my fault. I'll get it fixed,'" Fitzgerald recalled. "When your senior captain linebacker is pointing at himself and taking responsibility for his actions, I think it's like: 'Okay. Let's go fix it … We've got a job to do and let's go do it."
Nwabuisi, one of the clear emotional leaders, was overjoyed by the overall play from his unit.
"I don't know who didn't make a play on defense," he said. "It was incredible. Plays were coming from everywhere. The defense (competes) to see who can make the most plays and truthfully, we had no idea."
Nwabuisi and the entire senior class left the program better than they found it. Brian Mulroe, who worked alongside fellow seniors Patrick Ward and Neal Deiters on the offensive line, recognized today as the culmination of their hard work.
"A 10-win season is really big for this senior class," Mulroe said. "This program is on its way up.
After the tears and the celebration, Fitzgerald took that old monkey and the team tore it to pieces. Flip to a new chapter in Northwestern football – one with a remarkably high ceiling.
The team loses a group of seniors who carried this team from start to finish. But they can observe from a distance as the program continues to rise.
"This is a legacy that our seniors will live forever and leave with us forever," Fitzgerald said. "We're incredibly thankful, but this is just another step in the journey of this program."

The 21,932 acre HMA, which is "managed for a healthy wild horse herd in balance with other resources and uses," the BLM said in announcing its final Environmental Assessment and decision record this week, has a current estimated population of approximately 90 wild horses (including the 2011 foal crop), according to the ground survey completed in May by volunteers with the Four Corners Backcountry Horsemen.
The appropriate management level identified for the population in this HMA is 35-65 wild horses; up to 10 of the captured adult horses will be released to maintain herd population within the established appropriate management level. Mares released back into the HMA will be given applications of the contraceptive porcine zona pellucida.
Wild horse numbers have increased by an average of 23 percent per year since the HMA was gathered in 2007.
About 25 of the wild horses gathered will be available for adoption through the BLM's wild horse and burro program, at the Montezuma County Fairgrounds on Saturday, September 24 at 9 a.m., in Cortez.
Individuals interested in adopting a horse must meet corral and shelter requirements. These standards are at www.blm.gov/adoptahorse/requirements.php. The wild horses that are not
adopted will be placed in long-term pastures.
"We are dedicated to managing a healthy wild horse herd in the Dolores Field Office that is in balance with other public land uses and resources," said BLM Associate Field Manager Tom Rice.
Copies of the environmental assessment and decision record are available at www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/sjplc/wild_horses.html or from the Dolores Field Office at 970/882-6843.
USDA Designates Delta, Mesa and Montrose Counties as Primary Natural Disaster Areas
